Darren Oliver Principal Registrar of the Province of Canterbury For and on behalf of the Lord Archbishop of York Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Printed on stationery with St. Mary-le-Bow's logo and branding. Document is printed in Bookman Old Style. Incipits, names, and other text is in boldface and italics. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. Normally, this document would be issued in the name of the Archbishop of Canterbury (cf. the <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/547">Public Notice for Philip Mountstephen's election as Bishop of Winchester</a>), but the See of Canterbury was vacant at the time of issue. Although the document was issued in the name of the Archbishop of York, it nevertheless refers to "Our Vicar General" even though the Province of York has its own Vicar General. The date clause would normally reference the Archbishop's tenure (e.g., "and of Our Translation the X"). It's omission here is puzzling given that this is still presented as an archiepiscopal instrument. It may be a hypercorrection on the part of the drafter.
